Born in 1903, Aram Khachaturian became the most significant twentieth-century musical figure in the then Soviet Republic of Armenia. Many of his most important works date from the first half of his career. The expressive immediacy of his music, conditioned by his Armenian heritage with its sensuous melodic writing, its vibrant orchestration and rhythmic drive - all resulted in a popularity equalled by few composers of his generation. Although he is primarily associated with large orchestral scores - including the ballets Gayaneh and Spartacus, perennial favourites with concert audiences - he also left a number of works for piano solo.
